Serving Those Who Served

How Does Your County Veterans Service Office Work For You?
Our Veterans Service Representatives (VSR's) are thoroughly trained and accredited by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs to represent you. Contra Costa County VSR's are not employees of the federal government, they are county employees ready to assist you with any Veterans claim. They will assist you in securing the maximum benefits. Your representative will work closely with service officers from a Veterans organization of your choice, such as:

AMVETS

American Legion

California Department of Veterans Affairs

Disabled American Veterans

Military Order of the Purple Heart

Paralyzed Veterans of America

Veterans of Foreign Wars

...and many other organizations that maintain staff at federal Veterans Affairs Regional Offices.
